Part of the Technical team, my role is to provide multimedia support to all staff at the unit. My role covers a very broad range of multimedia services and skills, that can be seen in more detail below. If you have any multimedia enquiry that you require assistance with, please get in touch and I will endeavour to help in any way I can.

Videography

Creation of long and short form films, used in stimuli, training, events, marketing material, interview/podcasting, and social media clipping (vertical/horizontal). Using professional video/audio software and hardware, I can help in all stages of video production, including the initial concept, planning, scripting, shooting, editing, captioning, and the final delivery to select media platforms. I can also help with audio restoration, where the initial capture is less than ideal. This service can be provided both on and offsite, where permitted.

Photography 

Professional photography using professional photographic equipment, used in the creation and capture of images for stimuli, events, headshots, printed material, websites, social media feeds/marketing campaigns, and more. These services can be provided on site or at external locations and venues, where permitted. Images captured can be manipulated and processed in a variety of ways to meet the desired outcome.

CMS website management and advanced form creation 

I help maintain the Unit’s websites, which includes the management of users, pages, content, and media. This provides an important platform for sharing information about our staff, research and facilities, into to the public domain. I can help with the creation and styling of dynamic and static content, including, text, tables, graphics, videos, animations, and interactive forms. I also help manage some of our other sites, such as our internal only facing pages.  

Social media management including marketing and advertising campaigns  

Management of our social media platforms in the public domain, to help create, deliver, and promote content about the unit, the staff, and its research. This also involves direct engagement with external users through these platforms. As social media trends quickly change, I am always looking to make sure the platforms we use are relevant and hold our same values. I can also run personalised advertising campaigns through select social media platforms. This is a very effective tool for promoting research and recruitment in studies.

Audio visual management, design, and installation

Management of the in-house audio-visual facilities, to provide a professional service for all types of hosted events, such as in teaching, training and public engagement. I aim to offer a flexible set of tools, that allow for both ease of use and professional quality. I will always look to evolve the system to meet the changing needs of the users, and to keep up with technology advances. I am also able to help with the design of smaller customised audio-visual setups, used in other parts of the building, or for staff in external settings, such as schools or for participant research testing.

Lecture and meeting room support, including recording and streaming

Supporting staff during meetings and lectures, using dedicated professional equipment that had been designed to meet the needs of the space provided. Services include, help with the initial setup, fault resolution, system management, and the creation of more advanced custom setups, where needed. I am also able to offer both in house and external event recordings, both live and on demand, which can be processed and hosted internally (publicly or privately), using our own media server. Events can also be published to online social media platforms, such as YouTube, or scheduled for live streaming. 

2D and 3D design 

Using the latest digital creative tools, I can help and accommodate users with their design requirements. This includes the creation and manipulation of 2D graphics, using tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I can also provide desktop publishing using Adobe InDesign, for the creation of a variety of printed and shareable online material. Using Acrobat Pro, I can also help with editing, securing and the creation of signed PDF content. Other areas of design include help with the creation of web graphics and animations, motion effects, and some 3D design work.
